Science Fun!

We had a wonderful time learning about the force of gravity last week. We learned that is always pulling on us. It was cool to see how gravity affects balls of different sizes, pulling them to the earth at the same speed. But the shape of objects will fall at different speeds because of the air around them. "May the force be with you all."
Jacob's science experiment was a blast!!! He put Mentos mints into a bottle of Diet Coke and stepped back quickly so we could all watch the explosion! It was awesome!

Brock blew up a balloon and then taped a piece of straw to the balloon, then let go as we all watched the force of the air push the balloon forward. It was neat to watch the balloon go in the opposite direction of the excaping air!

Grace taught us about the interesting properties of water molecules. She was able to drop over 30 droplets of water onto a penny before it would spill off! After she was done we each got to take a dropper home to try this one on our own. Lucky!
